Muscle cells that contain cylinders are known as myofibrils, which are the contractile units of muscle fibers. These myofibrils are composed of repeating units called sarcomeres, which contain the actin and myosin filaments responsible for muscle contraction. In skeletal and cardiac muscle cells, these cylindrical structures are organized in a highly structured manner, allowing for efficient contraction and force generation.

Is a kidney a muscle?

The kidneys do not have any skeletal muscle tissue but there is smooth muscle in the blood vessels contained in the kidney. So technically, kidneys have some muscle tissue or cells. The kidneys are a complex organ with many types of cells including epithelial cells that make up the tubules of the filtration system, interstitial cells that fill the spaces between the tubules, mesangial cells which are located at the junction between the vascular and tubule system and then of course the cells that make up the arteries and veins including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and adventitial fibrobalst cells.
